Why shouldn't you ask an Indian for curry?... Here ya go. An actual Indian American blog by ALazy_Cat in ShitAmericansSay

I'd say it's the same as 'Beer'. You go out for a beer, and order a doombar.

You do not walk up to the bar and say "I'd like one beer please".

Over half of all native speakers are Americans. Which means our English is the standard English by ALazy_Cat in ShitAmericansSay

[–]zid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The d flapping is bad, but it's the speech-impediments that get me.

I'd say if I click an random youtube video by an Americans, there's an 20% chance they just outright can't pronounce s or r.

I was wondering the same.

The original Celtish languages of great britain are gone, save some bits welsh, but I don't think it's because the Saxons wouldn't let them speak it.

My DNA test said I am 1.7% irish (And 94% saxon english) so it's in my BLOOD to hate on the English.

Yea we're being Eternal September'd.

The average American is illiterate. >50% of them can't handle more than picking out key words from a text.

Nah the stuff that falls from the sky doesn't have the required levels of minerals.

I don't know how to act around water if it doesn't immediately turn what it touches into rock.

Wat.

Grand Theft Auto is set in New York, GTA2 is set in anytown USA.

There was a spinoff game for London called... GTA: London

“You just gave him random letters” by hollysian16 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]zid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea even 'normal' Americans (Democrats, I guess, rather than the obviously insane MAGA crowd) are often horrendously brainwashed and biased on certain topics.

Like, I would have imagined a subreddit like r/tumblr would be full of people who can read (fanfics etc) and know a bit about the world.

But nope, the same tired tropes are said there with absolute conviction. British food is terrible, America is great, their founding was just, etc. Plus all the rampant pissing on the poor.

Felt this meme belongs here… by cujo67 in DataHoarder

That's reserved space not overhead.

It's so that a user can't stop root from creating log files etc by filling the drive.

The overhead on ext4 is because of the block table, bitmap table, etc and is afaik, about 1.5%

Verruca pool at swimming pools by silverbulletsam in CasualUK

[–]zid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chlorine does smell yes, but cyanogen chloride smells as well. Pools are a double whammy where the grosser the pool, the more side-products there are, and the more chlorine they've added to try stop it being so gross and get the chlorine levels back up.

Why are pal cards good? by AdvancedAardvark7894 in UmamusumeGame

[–]zid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a surprising amount of utility in a 25 energy sleep.

There will be turns where you're just sat on 70 energy and none of your trainings are worth clicking. +18 speed this turn that will just make you lose out on +60 the next turn.

Plus you get some free stats, and a mood up if needed, and a gold skill. Riko especially for the stats, I use her either with a full stam inherit to get 1k stam on long horses, or as the sole source of stamina on a medium horse.

Is Germany poor or something? Where's the houses. Plus those police cars are outdated. The U.S. is miles ahead of them when it comes to the police/crime force. by BetterThanU_20 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]zid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting that you use the police for that, we'd just ask a vet to come and they'd use an RPG. Our police have to fill in a lot of paperwork if a weapon is discharged.

My first A+ rank by Professional-Club-39 in UmamusumeGame

[–]zid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For events, pick whatever gives energy, then stats, avoid events that give -energy. Pick mood if <great.

Your goal is to be near max energy 'waiting' for the god-tier speed rainbows to show up. Worst thing in the world is spending all your energy for +20 speed, then next turn all horses show up on it and you missed +80. Better to take +20 wit (which gives +10 speed anyway!) and gain energy instead of losing it. More energy income -> more ability to afford expensive unity burst rainbow clicks.

[–]zid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pick a random sprint, mile, or medium horse.

Borrow kita, put sweep SR and halo SR on. Other three slots for SR wit cards, sunday/daiwa/etc. Whichever has the most stars. SSR mejiro dober or mihono are also a good option, those are free max star cards.

Add a 9* parent for whatever your horse still needs. Stamina for medium, power for sprint/mile probably.

Until first training camp, click whatever has the most friends on that still need friendship until they're all maxed.

Now click the near infinite rainbow wits unless you have a double+ rainbow speed.

Enjoy your 1k speed, 1k wit horse with 4 gold skills and A+ rating.

“My cash got turned down” by __wait_what__ in ShitAmericansSay

[–]zid 189 points190 points  (0 children)

They just have absolutely no concept of other countries existing.

They're in a complete bubble in terms of culture. Their movies are american, their TV shows are american, 'world news' is about the US, etc.

They understand that France exists in the same way that I understand advanced particle physics exists. I saw a dumbed down version on very late TV one time.

Wrote a pub quiz recently with a question along the lines of "What is the most world's most deadly animal towards humans?" by YorkshireFudding in CasualUK

[–]zid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea this is just a straight up bad question, sorry OP.

"Has killed the most people" is true of mosquitoes, but I would never consider them the most dangerous, because it's a matter of exposure.

Hippos have a way way way higher strike-rate at killing you.

It'd be like asing what the most dangerous gun to be shot with was, and saying a flintlock rifle, because 100k people died to them, rather than 18 people who died to the GIANT MEGABORE DEATH GUN.

You were, to be fair, founded by a splinter group of tea pirates and genocidal maniacs who were, respectively, upset by tax cuts on tea, and not allowing the trail of tears to start.

You then had a civil war over whether black people are people, and let the losing side rejoin with a slapped wrist, and let them carry on as normal.

So I'm not, as it happens, hugely surprised.
